Political Tensions Flare in Murshidabad Following Riot Visits

Central and local political figures have visited Murshidabad district amid communal unrest, sparking controversy. The Governor and Human Rights commissions offered support to victims, while TMC criticized the visits as politically motivated. The violence stemmed from anti-Waqf Amendment Act protests, with calls for increased security in affected areas.

In Murshidabad district, which has recently been marred by riots, visits from West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose and human rights officials are causing a stir. The violence, a result of protests against the anti-Waqf Amendment Act, left multiple casualties and displaced many.

The ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) has harshly criticized these visits, alleging political maneuvering. Governor Bose, while visiting the victims, promised urgent security measures and conveyed this during his discussions with affected families.

Despite assurances, the TMC accused visiting delegations of bias and questioned the motives behind neglecting similar issues in other states. The political landscape remains tense, with accusations flying and the central government urged for intervention.
